The product of tonights LiveStream. Went in without any plans, aside from to make an entry for The-mech-warriors competition. This came out, don't think I've ever polished a piece this much in one sitting, the power of mecha got me though
A Marauder heavy mech from battletech, firing a pair of PPCs and Medium Lasers. Due to the original being a pull from macross, the canon design has gone through a lot of changes in it's life. With my painting I aimed to bring together the feel of the original, with some modernization of the re-seen version, some IIC details made it in too.
Last proper Mechwarrior/Battletech table-top campaign I played too long ago, my character James Wolfe (no relation, just happened to be an RP name I sometimes used for military themed characters) upgraded from the classic Enforcer into a salvaged Marauder. At the time we had just started salvaging Clan tech and it became the test platform for integrating Clan tech with Inner Sphere tech.
So a couple of salvage runs and skirmishes later I had my finished MAD-5D modified, "Mad Raptor." Dropped the AC/5 and ammo for Jump Jets (5/8/5 Heavy Mech!), and got a full conversion to Clan Heatsinks. I may or may not have found some Clan PPC's to swap out, don't quite remember. I also added some armor to some key spots but that's the basic jist of it.
Ooooh, man. You have just given me flash-backs of awesomeness with this beautiful work. Haven't played my Mech games in forever. Love the Marauder, and love your work. Extremely well done, yo.
